Wilson returns to Boston, scores first NHL goal

Former Terrier top scorer Colin Wilsonpicked a familiar place to register his first NHL goallast night: the TD Bank Garden in Boston where Wilson appeared in the Beanpot and Hockey East tournaments the past two seasons. The scoring play began with a heavy check by Wilson in his own end to cause a turnover and it finished with Wilson banging home a loose puck in the Bruins' crease (video). Wilson earned the game's third star, but the Bruins topped Nashville, 3-2.

After the game, The Daily Free Pressspoke with Wilson, who noted, "it was pretty nice to get that first goal in front of all my buddies.”

Colorado Avs Director of Player Personnel David Oliver was at the BU-Notre Dame game and, appearing as a guest on The Pipeline Show, offered some comments on the Terriers performance and the three Avs draft picks playing for the Avs, Captain Kevin Shattenkirk, Colby Cohen and Kieran Millan. (audio)
